Allan Schwartzberg

Allan
Schwartzberg is a 'first-call' New York session drummer. He does
everything from jingles to sound tracks to record dates, and
does them so well that he has had one of the longest running careers
of any musician in this trendy, stressful and highly competitive
business.

"Allan
has played with such diverse artists as Stan Getz, Peter Gabriel, Mountain
and James Brown. He's also one of the original disco drummers, playing
on such dance classics as Gloria Gaynor's Never Can Say Goodbye,
Tony Camillo's Bazuka's Dynomite, and Meco's Theme From Star
Wars. And the rampant sampling of James Brown's Funky President
has made Allan's beat the sound of '90s hip-hop. Allan is one of the
unsung heroes of this game. By way of introduction, I'll simply let
Allan speak for himself."-
